Pathology Laboratories

Company sets up shop in doctors offices to draw blood & process specimen samples collected in office. For the "incumbent" your working under alot of pressure to draw right tubes & process quickly & efficiently. Depending on the flow of patients in a particular office you can run into problems & get backed up if you're not as "efficient".
You are also at the mercy of how the actual doctors office staff percieve you to be. As for co workers its common for folks to act like their helping you then stab you in the back.(going ~3 supervisors up 
for simple things upper mgmt have nothing to do with!)

At one time I loved my job.  I feel as though there is a fair amount of favortism among collegues & with the management being scattered between toledo,oh & austin, TX certain staff members know exactly what to do & what to say to get an unliked person screwed over. After the expierence I can say that I will never work in an IOP setting again.

I loved my job but the company had other plans that was kept in secret and they decided to fire everyone who worked in our labs and offices and cut us couriers hours down to nothing. They offered all the lab and office workers money but told us couriers we should be happy and grateful because we still had a job. The massive termination was very sudden seeing as they just finished building a 15 million dollar lab in our building.  Very disgusted with how things turned out!

A typical day at work is doing the job of at least three other people.
I learned that human resources places ZERO value on discretion and will spread personal affairs to anyone they find acceptable.
Management....a joke, but not funny. CEO is loud, doesn't care about anything but the bottom line and is absolutely not interested in the employees well being. 
The hardest part of the job is seeing hard working staff get annual increases that max out at 3%. There are no fringe benefits offered here, either. 
The most enjoyable part of the job is leaving at the end of a shift. 
As soon as another company calls, I am leaving this place behind and won't be looking back.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Decent job terrible area supervision. More interested in gossiping about employees and seeking out things to reprimand the employees. Offers no guidance or improvements. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The boss and her set of toxic employee besties

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic. If your lucky enough to not work at the main hub it's better but your not immune to it.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The job itself is to be expected in any phlebotomy posistion. Outpatient work. This company expects you to stay over with no notice on any day so you've been warned.

I really enjoyed working here. I was very shocked when they fired almost everybody and moved their Laboratory to a different state. Any specimens that are taken here are not handled locally. They are sent to Columbus, put on a plane and flown to New York nightly. Lots of customers complain because they are not getting their results overnight like they used to. It's kind of a strange environment to be a part of.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was no best part of this company 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management staff equivalent to a dumpster fire

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible work environment.  Hostile and horrible workload

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A true nightmare daily. The only saving grace was the patients.

Limited resources made it difficult to develop customer base.  Average technology,  The business model did not offer any unique opportunities.  Not forward thinking and the position created for me was not well conceived or supported.  There was limited capacity to serve customer base.  Not a market leader with higher than average price point verses the competition

The patients and coworkers were great. Management will tell you what you want to hear but all of it means nothing. There is absolutely no appreciation for anything you do. You can go above and beyond for the patients and the company but it will never be enough. You do the work of 3 or 4 people and sometimes it’s not even what you’ve been trained for 

I was hired to work 7 pm to midnight, and never did.  My days started 
between 2:30 to 3pm and I never knew when I would get home.After one year, I was given a raise of .20 cents an hour. I started to fall asleep when 
trying to get home on more than one occasion, it was not safe.  Taking any time off was nearly impossible since there was no other person
to do my route.  I always did the best that I could and would always do
what was asked of me

What is the best part of working at the company?
I was a senior phlebotomist so my pay was good.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Very unfair practices by upper management.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You will either be a pet or the pray.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Extremely busy not much time for a break.
